Add support for using 3-arg pkcheck syntax for process (CVE-2013-4311)
With the existing pkcheck (pid, start time) tuple for identifying the process, there is a race condition, where a process can make a libvirt RPC call and in another thread exec a setuid application, causing it to change to effective UID 0. This in turn causes polkit to do its permission check based on the wrong UID. To address this, libvirt must get the UID the caller had at time of connect() (from SO_PEERCRED) and pass a (pid, start time, uid) triple to the pkcheck program.
